VIICII1 g Power 13: 'Sf - 1 Senior split end David Tavierne receives a pass as teammate James Jones clears to clear the way. As a bluechip college pick. David played three years as a varsity defensive end. 2 Senior captains James Jones, Bobby Gordon, Steve l-lanes, and Bonnie Dawson laugh at Bob- by's attempt to promote spirit at a pep rally. These men represented the team on the field as well as off 3 Wilburn Houston leaps over a pile of players while trying to gain a few extra feet. 4 Bubba Jennings watches for opposing tackles while he carries the ball down the field. Bubba replaced Jeff Jackson as Quarterback after Jeff suffered an injury team as they came in to defeat the defending District champ, Travis. 6-O the next week. The strong defensive line and backlield played well against Austin l-ligh. They held the publicized Sayers under 100 yards, a feat in itself, but four injuries caused the Viks to physically weaken and lost 13-21. They beat themselves by snapping the ball over the punter's head and tumbling on Austin's 12 yard line, after which the Maroons scored two touchdowns. The next week the Viks faced an old rival, McCallum. Lanier had 19 first downs to Mac's eight. Bonnie Dawson ran a kickoff back and the Vikings played well the last six minutes with two quick drives. The clock ran out with the Viks on the six inch line. Coach Novak attributed the 14- 17 loss to lack of concentration early in the game A O-O tie against Crockett sums up the game well. The football game turned into a muddy battle of who could hang onto the ball the longest. The 7-42 score ofthe Fleagan game doesnt show the fine football played by Lanier. They had a sprinter that ran 9.9 and our fastest man ran 10.41 consequently he scored four touchdowns, said Coach Novak. The halftime score showed the Viks trailed 7-12 with the ball on the two yard line. Neither team scored in the third quarter. The Viks never gave up but they couIdn't catch up. Rain preceded the Anderson grudge match. Once again, every mistake Lanier made worked for Anderson. lt just proves you can't make mistakes, said Coach Novak. Lanier received two points for a safety when they forced the Trojans in a punting situation. Anderson came out on top, defeating the Viks 2-17. LBJ outscored Lanier 14-22, A game in which the Viks gave away a safety and a touchdown to the Jags All the teams in the district were good and we played good, interesting games all season, summed up Coach Novak. The Viks have 11 lettermen returning next season, five defensive starters, 4 offensive starters plus some JV talent to make up the '77 team, varsity football 83
